Whirlpool Duet WED9200S Use & Care Manual page 19

• Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinking or wrinkling.
• If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the Bulky
Items cycle, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This
will aid in the drying process.
Cycle tips
• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
• Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a
different dryness level, depending on your load by
pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE,
NORMAL or LESS.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press the DRY TIME up or down buttons. Adjust
the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual
Cycles.
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.

Sensing
When a cycle is first turned on, the Sensing light glows until a wet
item is detected.
• In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected
within 10 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer
will shut down.
• In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
10 minutes, the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle
continues.
Wet
The Wet light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
• The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle.
• The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.
Damp
The Damp light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry
level. To be alerted when your load is approximately 80% dry, you
may use the Damp Dry Cycle Signal option. See "Damp Dry
Cycle Signal" in "Additional Features" section.
NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.
Done
The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This
indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD
TM
feature.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights on the control panel show Cycle,
Temperature, Dryness Level, and cycle signal settings selected.
The time display will indicate the estimated or actual time
remaining in a cycle.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. See Automatic Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings

Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get High heat for heavyweight mixed loads,
cotton towels or jeans.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying large items that
require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and
pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle. This
will aid in the drying process.
Normal
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes and sheets.
Casual
Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press
blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get Low heat to gently dry items such as
washable knit fabrics.
Super Delicate
Use this cycle to get Extra-Low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie.
